Ernest Tubb's fourth LP release and second album of new recordings was a sort of concept album, with side one consisting of numbers new to his repertory, including Cindy Walker's &I Wonder Why I Worry Over You,& the rollicking &Educated Mama& (with its &Folsom Prison Blues& beat), and Justin Tubb's &That, My Darlin', Is Me,& and older songs, among them Hank Williams' &I'm a Long Gone Daddy& and &Your Cheatin' Heart,& and the old Bob Wills standard &San Antonio Rose.& These were also Tubb's first stereo releases, and he took well to the new configuration. His voice had softened and mellowed somewhat by this time and, if anything, had a more attractive quality for this material. &Your Cheatin' Heart& doesn't come off as well as &I'm a Long Gone Daddy,& although Tubb sings it very smoothly and sweetly. The Texas Troubadours backing him up now included steel player Buddy Emmons and Johnny Johnson on rhythm guitar.
